Path of Exile Item Upgrading
The best method to upgrade your gear in Path of Exile is through upgrade of your items. This allows you to enhance your gear without having to depend on costly drops or trades. This article will show you how to upgrade your items.
Upgrading equipment grants an increase to the item's base stats. The bonus increases with upgrade component's level and rarity.
Components
Upgrade components are the parts that can make your weapons and armor more effective. You can locate them through destroying enemies, buying them from karma vendors, or finding them in items-spheres. You can also get them from equipment that has the components or by using high-tier salvage kits such as Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Tool. Contrary to other products, upgrade components are not destroyed when removed from an item.
Upgrade components are primarily used to upgrade an item, but they can also be used for other purposes. They can be used to boost the value of an upgradeable item, or they can be used to boost the amount of experience gained from upgrading an existing weapon or piece of gear. They can be forged to give additional benefits. A glyph that has been crafted can increase the chances of upgrading its target, while an upgrade boosts the attack or defense attributes of weapons.
You can bind an upgrade template to an item by selecting it from the edition GUI. This will display the upgrade components that the item can be updated. You can also use the workbench to selecting an upgrade template. In either scenario, an item will be upgraded when enough upgrade components have been gathered.
Each component has a unique experience multiplier. This determines how much experience an item will gain when upgraded using that component. For instance, organic components have a more experience multipliers than mechanical ones. It is recommended to upgrade the organic components first, until you reach the next rank in the weapon or equipment, and then switch to the mechanical upgrades.
Each item has a maximum upgrade number that can be received. The number of items that are upgradeable is determined by their upgradeable rank, and the kind of upgrade they are able to receive. For instance, the highest possible weapon upgrade is a weapon of tier 10. However, the most common upgrades for weapons are the tier 6 weapon and an armor upgrade of tier 5.
Sets
A set is a collection of items that have the benefit of. Each item can be upgraded at the least once. The upgrade increases the bonuses that are guaranteed. The first time you upgrade an item, its initial stat will be +1. In subsequent upgrades, the primary stats will be boosted a bit further (for example, +1 to 12+/13+/14+), and each time you upgrade the item, one of its extra stats is increased randomly.
Upgrades to a weapon may increase its damage base, which could be crucial for certain builds. However, weapons are not upgraded to have a higher defense base than their normal base. It is a good way to improve the value of a set and unique items, but it's important to note that they might not be better than a high-level runeword in any build.
If the item you're upgrading has a guaranteed bonus, it can be rerolled a few times and its guarantee will be reset to 0. Rerolling will cost the same amount of power dice as the process of leveling an item up, but the new item will have additional bonuses. Upgrades can be completed through the NPC [ArmorBoboko. Boboko in Central Flarine. To upgrade an item, you'll require a power dice of each type (Dice 4 or 6 drop from monsters 21+ and Giants; Dice 7 drops from bosses) and the right amount of Minerals and Erons. These are available at the crafting table or the Ultra Collector and can be purchased with Gold. NPCs also offer special rewards for each completed level of the upgrade process. This reward can be rerolled once, and the reroll will use the same materials as the original item.
Rerolling
A player is able to reroll any item acquired in the game provided they have enough reroll tokens. If an item is rerolled, it will be replaced with an equivalent level 1 version from another set. item upgrades are available at the store for an amount of in-game currency, but they aren't refundable. The new upgraded item will have the same bonuses of the first, but its stats will be different too.
Players can change the identification of their equipment, in addition to changing it's roll by interfacing with an NPC upgrader. This will change its identification from a weapons to armor or reverse it. The basic requirements and stats will remain the same. The change will be permanent and affect all characters that own the gear.
Players can also boost the level of an item equipped equipment by obtaining upgrade components and communicating with the item's upgrader NPC. The cost will vary depending on the upgrade track, the item type, and the number of crests. Each step will add 5% more damage to weapons.
An upgrade can boost its power however, it can also lower its quality. Therefore, it is important to balance the two. Certain items might not be worth upgrading and some will require to be upgraded to realize their potential. One player may wish to upgrade the breakpoint armor by adding an interesting modifier ( percent block chance, or FHR) to discover what it could become.
Rerolling is a popular practice in Genshin Impact and other gacha-based games. People use it to try to obtain an item or character that they wouldn't otherwise have. These items are time-consuming and costly to obtain, and the RNG doesn't always play nice. The only other options are to spend money or grind extensively. Rerolling is extremely popular in Genshin Impact.
Leveling
You can decide to upgrade the weapon or armor when you upgrade an item. This feature is not available in the current version of the game. I believe it was designed to be a way to give some value to rare items, but as gear in general drops fairly quickly and is only upgraded after a certain amount of levels it is likely that you will replace the item before it becomes too old. It's not worth it to level items that have gem sockets since the value of the gem will far outweigh the higher ilvl that comes with the upgrade.
You will be presented with a small box when you click the upgrade option for an item. It will display the template for the item, its crest, and the Valorstone cost to raise the item's level. Armor and weapons will have different prices, with the latter typically being more costly. The upgrade template shows the stats that will be added to the upgraded item and also lists its current base ilvl.
The Crest and Valorstone costs are calculated according to the item's current ilvl and the upgrade template. In addition, the ilvl of the new upgraded item will be decreased by the upgrade template's lvl decrease percentage. For example an upgrade of 8% will reduce the weapon's ilvl by 8 to 8%.
In addition to the increase in ilvl base the item will also be upgraded in other stats, such as critical strike damage, PvE damage, dodge, block, and parry rating. These increases are based on the upgrade template.
In the upgrade template you can check the amount of damage or defense that the item will be able to sustain when it is upgraded. This is shown below the cost as well as the upgrade percentages. Apart from the practice equipment, all other weapons and armor gain the same stats when they are upgraded. The value of these stats will be dictated by the market, with a perfectly perfectly rolled piece of armor or weapon can command significantly higher trade values than non-upp'd versions. This is also true for other pieces of armor, such as tiaras and circlets.
